Too busy this week to write much more than posting here my piece in Unherd about the abusive treatment of Vivek Chibber on X as a result of this podcast episode.
One can ignore X entirely, or one can look at it as a place where we can read the temperature of the radlibs.
In any case, it has been an eye opening, but rough series of events to contemplate.
More soon.
I'm so glad you wrote this!
Excellent! The fury we face when bringing this stuff up is truly amazing. I thought that this was unique to the gender discussion. But once I got out of that bubble I realized how really universal the problem is on "the left". I heard that Ryan Grim of DropSite faced some wrath for daring to criticize DEI. MR interviewed him about it, and the willful ignorance from the host and founder was...sigh. Let's just say "it's not happening, but it's a good thing, but it isn't happening, but it should happen, but it's a right-wing talking point, but...Trump bad".
